Al-Mundhir ibn Muhammad (c. 842 – 888) was Emir of Córdoba from 886 to 888. He was a member of the Umayyad dynasty of Al-Andalus (Moorish Iberia), the son of Muhamad bin Abd al-Rahman. Born in Córdoba. During the reign of his father he commanded military operations against the neighbouring Christian kingdoms and the Muladi rebellions.
Al-Mundhir
In 865 he led the partially failed campaign against King Ordoño I of Asturias, in the Duero valley. On his way back to Cordoba he defeated at Burgos Rodrigo, count of Castile, pushing the Cordoban frontier northwards in Iberia. He also tried to conquer León, but was defeated in 878 at Valdemora by King Alfonso III of Asturias. Al-Mundhir launched an expedition against the Banu Qasi Muladi family who had allied with Alfonso III, but was also defeated in 883. The following year he was able to expel the rebel emir Ibn Warwan from Badajoz. In 886, on his father’s death, he inherited the throne of Córdoba. During the two years of reign al-Mundhir continued the fight against the rebel Umar ibn Hafsun. He died in 888 at Bobastro, possibly murdered by his brother Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Umawi, who succeeded him.
Algezares
A basilica temple was found during archaeological excavations. The ruins are located on the northwestern slope of the Sierra del Gallo, facing the plain of Murcia, about 500 meters east of the town of Algezares by the road leading to the neighbouring town of Garres. The basilica has been considered to be from the Byzantine period and dated between the second half of the sixth and early seventh century, although there is evidence of earlier times. There seems to be a gap between mid seventh century and the ninth, because the set of Islamic materials dates between the second half of the eleventh century and the first half of the tenth .
